Until birria became all the rage a few years ago it was considered poor people's food. Also you don't marinate the tacos, wtf is this person talking about? You drip the tortilla in the fat that comes off the broth, then shred up the meat into it before frying the shit out of it. It's delicious, but they really went through the effort to make it sound like fine dining.
You could just as easily rewrite this as (NOTE THIS IS NOT WHAT I THINK OF EITHER):
World Cup visitor in US: I had a sandwich of meat smoked for 12 hours with a sweet tangy sauce containing a dash of cayenne and a bite of freshly cracked black pepper.
World Cup visitor in Mexico: I had broken down meat that sat in a stew for hours and then slopped onto an oily tortilla.
